Relating to the continued reimbursement under Medicaid for nursing facilities after a change in ownership.

HB 3902 ensures uninterrupted Medicaid payments for nursing facilities during ownership changes. It requires new owners to meet licensing standards, assume the previous owner's contract terms, and sign a liability agreement covering past obligations. The bill mandates that Texas Medicaid contracts follow federal Medicare standards and sets 30-day timelines for processing new contracts and payments after ownership transfers. This directly affects nursing facilities changing ownership and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission administering Medicaid payments.
